Where everything began...

... in a way. Göbekli Tepe, the first temple in the world (12.000 aC), but also the beginning of agriculture and civilization. You can read more about it in this blog. Just search: Göbekli Tepe

Amazing Fox!



Amazing archaeological discovery! In Turkey, German archeologists found what looks like a "sanctuary", the first sanctuary built by men, thousands years before Stonehenge or Newgrange... It was built 11.500 years ago and it is known by the weird name of Göbekli Tepe (it means "Hill with a potbelly"). It's amazing because it was established by hunter-gatherers, nomadic people, before the advent of sedentarism, long before the first cities.
And you can predict by the following image that they like foxes.
It is really an old fox! :)
